If this is the case, I doubt it would be possible with an ODBC driver, which wouldn't know how to extract the data. I THINK you would have to get information about the file structure (how many bytes for every field? what is the field type? any special encoding?), and read the file with LLFF or FileToStr() and then parse it.
